Lyrics:

O land of soft, fresh breezes

And verdant trees so fair,

With the Creator's glory

Reflected ev'rywhere,

O sea of palest em'rald,

Merging to darkest blue,

Whene'er my thoughts fly Godward,

I always think of you.

Chorus:

Dear, verdant island,

set in blue Caribbean Sea,

I'm coming, coming very soon,

O beautious isle, to thee.

Although I wandered far,

My heart enshrines thee yet.

Homeland, fair Cayman Isle,

I cannot thee forget.
